About this map

The Pend Oreille River flows through this borderlands region, where the town of Newport meets Oldtown at the boundary between Washington and Idaho. This 2017 survey details the complex geography of the river valley as it transitions into the densely forested slopes of the Kaniksu National Forest. The local transportation and settlement patterns are defined by the river and the path of the Milwaukee Road, which passes through smaller outposts such as Penrith.

Notable landmarks include several river islands like Strong Island and Kelly Island, alongside significant water bodies such as Bead Lake and Freeman Lake. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks to named peaks such as Newport Hill and Cooks Mtn. Genealogists and local historians can find essential locations such as the Newport Cem and follow the rural roads winding through Scotia Valley and into the surrounding canyons.
